Are these your instructions to pupils? They are good!
Explanation: When you read a text, ideas relate to each other. One such relationship is called: Cause and Effect.
A cause is something that makes something else happen. An effect is the result of something that happened.
To find the effect ask yourself: What happened?
To find the cause, ask yourself what caused it to happen?

Examples: It snowed last night. Everything is white.
What happened? Everything is white.
What caused everything to be white? It snowed last night.

General Activities on Cause and Effect

Activity 1: Underline the words that tell the cause and circle those that tell the effect. (Impact P58)

Activity 2: These words and expressions may show a Cause and Effect relationship. Get familiar with the connectors, and those you don’t know look them up in the dictionary.

Cause Effect

Seeing that on account of due to
owing to therefore
that is why

Activity 3: A: Underline the cause with one color and the effect with another color.
B: Circle the connector that helped you identify the cause and effect relationships.

1. The police had him under surveillance. Consequently, they collected all the information they needed on him.

2. Seeing that the teacher was busy, the student decided to speak to her later.

3. I prefer to use email since regular mail is too slow.

4. There were many streets protests and strikes against the government’s economic policy. As a result, the government has lowered taxes.

2. I failed the exam because____________________________________.

3. Sakhnin’s football fans made troubles during their previous game. As a result, __________________________________________.

Activity 6: Complete the chart to show the causes and effects of psychological bullying on page 61 in Impact.

Activity 7: “Buy Now Pay Later” p54:
Find the cause and effect relationships in the passage.
Underline the cause with one color and the effect with another color.
Circle the connector that helped you identify the cause and effect relationships.

Activity 8: complete the table of cause and effect according to the given sentences. The first one has been done for you:

Cause Effect
More people had cars. People didn’t have to shop near home
Mc Namara didn’t have money to pay the bill.
The Diner’s Club was a success.
People could buy things they couldn’t afford.


They are all excellent activities and exercises. What is missing again is the main emphasis: Pupils should read at least 4,5 texts on the same strategy. Here I see barely one or two. This is not enough. Your main purpose in your lessons is to have he kids read, read and read. Of course you have to teach them the use of connectors etc., but the bulk of your lessons should have the kids busy reading.
